if this game lets me be the foreign menace that rednecks fear it will be GOTY of course they're going to remove all pretenses of Liberal/Conservative partisanship and make the bad guys whacko cultists, but I'll probably play the game and ignore that, and just fantasize about killing right-wingers

Bombadilillo posted:worse/better. rumor is black dude it would be cool if you played as executive-level dude who's going to some manufacturing plant to streamline processes but at the end of this ordeal you're like "actually just close the plant even though it's the only place of employment in the area, this place is hosed up" and then *credits* basically just make a shooter that pisses in the faces of the rural poor and then laugh as it makes many hundreds of millions of dollars anyways

you know wat i wish this game would have? some good loving gore. how come gore in video games peaked with Soldier of Fortune 2, a game that came out in 2002?

Jack Trades posted:Is that when you stopped playing video games? Because I bet you I can name a gorier game for every year past whenever Soldier of Fortune came out. I bet you can name games with more blood and meat chunks than Soldier of Fortune (2, which was the true king of gore) but I bet you can't name games that have more dynamic gore than SoF2. You could shoot out like 6 individual parts of enemies heads and faces. Jack Trades posted:Punisher came out same year as Half-Life 2 and Doom 3. See? None of that stuff is the same level of gore that SoF2 had; it's all animated push-button stuff. Some of those were cool games, don't get me wrong, but none of them have the immediacy of shooting parts of peoples skulls out with an M16. I know it's ghoulish, but we've got all this crazy pixel shader, physics-driven animation going on with games these days, why can't somebody make a game where shooting somebody in the head with a shotgun gets some horrific results?

Jack Trades posted:You didn't specify that it had to be FPS games. Nobody meant gore went away entirely, we just meant that it peaked with Soldier of Fortune and nobody bothered to try doing it that detailed again, despite that fact that now games have insanely detailed physics for everything else. And it's not like games have become any less focused on shooting people so damnit, why can't we carve some dudes skulls up with shotguns?

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:Studios might've toned it down when "mature" games started becoming mainstream. Doom let you hacksaw some Imps but back then it was still more of a niche, nerd thing. I think that's what happened. Although GTAV let's you stab innocent civilians to death in first person so I think we're poised to see some hardcore violence come back soon. Jack Trades posted:Fartbox said that games of Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 era were gore-free. I saw them, and I'm probably going to check out Shadow Warrior 2 soon because it sounds fun.

OXBALLS DOT COM posted:Half-life 2 let you cut people in half so uhh Just the zombie guys (IIRC) and it wasn't that dynamic. You could hit them below the knees and they'd split at the waist. again, we're not saying that games have never been gory since then, we're saying that with a few exceptions, no games have really matched the dynamic violence of SoF2 despite the technology being easily available. Especially games where you shoot people rather than zombies or demons

turn off the TV posted:I don't understand the appeal of gore in most video games. It's cool in games like Dead Space where it's actually a part of the gameplay, but most of the time it's just dumb and kind of creepy. You're still reading and posting in a thread about a first-person shooter game though, so don't act like you're not on board with shooting people to death in a video game and talking about it online Fartbox posted:it let you cut zombies in half, all humans were intact afaik there totally was a huge shift then, and I'm glad you get what I'm talking about here. I want to see what a AAA game along the lines of Far Cry or GTA would look today like if they applied even 10% of the effort that was applied to SoF2s gore. I bet that poo poo would be borderline disturbing.

Jack Trades posted:Killing Floor 2 and Shadow Warrior 2. I'll check out Shadow Warrior 2, I'm into what you're saying about it. I'm thinking about building a PC but I've heard great things about Killing Floor 2 as well, so if I end up doing that I'll check that out too. a bone to pick posted:I remember liking ragdolls over gore as a kid, stabbing people into bloody chunks in Deus Ex and Unreal was funny for a while but I remember HL2 and Halo 2s ragdolls blowing me away. even better than tossing them off, there was a move where you'd piledrive them the entire way down. then they'd shake it right off and walk away pissed.

I like the new HITMAN game because the guards will be like "OH DAMMIT HE SHOT JEROME!" when you kill one of them in front of one another.
